Bridges, viaducts and other steel infrastructure require rigorous quality control to ensure long-term structural reliability. At TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium, we combine deep expertise with advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to assess the integrity of welded bridge components throughout all project phases.
Our specialists perform Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) on welded joints during both prefabrication and on-site assembly. For long weld sections, often produced through orbital or automated welding, we apply TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) and Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT). These techniques allow us to inspect large lengths efficiently while maintaining high detection accuracy, enabling contractors to meet demanding deadlines without compromising on safety or quality.
Over the years, we have inspected more than 100 km of welded infrastructure, including bridges, bicycle bridges, and large viaducts across Belgium. This extensive track record demonstrates our capability to support complex and large-scale projects with reliable, fast and high-quality inspection results. With our comprehensive NDT expertise, we help ensure that critical infrastructure is built and remains safe for decades to come.
Furthermore, TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium can safeguard critical assets and operational hotspots through advanced structural health monitoring services, including our RISE system, which provides real‑time condition evaluation and early detection of structural anomalies.
